Vogue France February 2025 : Natasha Poly by Willy Vanderperre

So many Guy Bourdin images, is Carlijn Jacobs too big budget to shoot an editorial for VF?

We all knew this hideous Prada glasses will show on some cover Lets hope its the only one

I just wonder who they're going to feature next month. How much does the Helmut Newton Estate charge? Can they afford it?

This is terrible on so many levels.

“Some” of these aren’t so bad… I don’t like the cover however you don’t give a model like Natasha the cover only to cover most of her face… Happy to have Natasha on the cover otherwise!!

Please elaborate dear, i’m interested in your opinion…

Sure!

First of all, the layout is absolutely empty. There's no direction, no identity. It's very flat, it could be VF, VI or any other edition of Vogue.

The AD doesn't elevate the editorials at all, it just makes them even weaker and, for sure, it doesn't make up for the weakness of the images at all. I came across this post recently which perfectly illustrates what I mean:


Secondly, the editorials: the only decent one is the main editorial. Everything else is mediocre in theme, execution and casting. I'm beginning to think that Dan Sablon is a lot less than I expected. Everything is absolutely pedestrian.
"Skinny or not skinny" is worthy of a cheap article straight out of 20ans magazine and It looks like casting call polaroids.

Or ‘Emoi du mois’, which ironically doesn't really evoke any emotion at all.

Finally, the trends with the t-shirts tell me everything I need to know about this team and why the content is so mediocre, homogenous, uninteresting and boring.

At around the same age: Melanie Huynh, Géraldine Saglio, Julia von Boehm, and Benjamin Bruno already had a well-defined POV, a style and a personality. You could feel it in every way.

Let me be clear: I'm not nostalgic. I deplore the fact that the total absence of talent and personality is so much in the spotlight these days. When Fashion used to glorify differences, now it hides them.
